A new day, a new heavy lift. At this week's operation, six oxygen tanks with a weight of more than 150 tonnes had to be installed at their intended foundations in Mergelstetten, Germany. With the installation of the tanks for the oxyfuel plant, we are one step further towards firing up our first plant that is going to utilise the so-called pure oxyfuel process for carbon capture, with an expected start in the first quarter of 2025. The clinker burning process, in which pure oxygen is introduced into the kiln instead of air, significantly increases the CO2 capture potential. The oxygen tanks will provide a total storage capacity of around 360 cubic metres of liquid oxygen for the operation of the Pure Oxyfuel plant. Catch4climate is a joint venture together with our partners Buzzi SpA - Dyckerhoff GmbH, SCHWENK Deutschland Zement GmbH und Co KG and VICAT S.A. The oxygen tanks were supplied by Westfalen AG.

This is a very important project for the cement industry. It is going to be very interesting to see it in operation.

Interesting milestone indeed! Is this cement plant a SEVESO site? if not, how are the risks of the +200 tons of Liquid OXygen managed within the facility?

A very innovative project. Congratulations!

How much energy is necessary to separate oxygen from air, per ton clinker ?
